Good luck.
So, yeah. I am trying another multiplayer game, but this time less galactic scale and more manageable single planet size. as I wrote in the nice description above, there will be 5 soldiers, and one will have to be the lone guy protecting the south door. the other two doors are Northeastern and Western doors.
Each turn will bring a swarm of horrible doomy things of doom, and ya'll have to shoot/stab/shotgun/other them before they get in. (though there won't be much other until later) When the trader comes, he'll bring mostly non-military stuff, but each following arrival will bring more stuff that you the defenders could actually use to defend yourself (and your home, of course).
The tricky thing will be paying him, since theres not much that he'd be interested in buying from soldiers, except the aliens. But We will get to that when we get to him. All bought weapons will be in a group pile, any of you will be able to use them once at least one of you has paid the trader for it (though obviously if two want it at the same time, you will need two of the weapon, not just one).
Ammo is not going to be kept track of, just assume you have enough, unless you get a critical fail and your gun jams or something.
I'll be using

First action, if possible, should be to seal off two of the three entrances as best we can, so that we can divert more people (three?) to the one remaining entrance.

And this is the Dwarf Fortress forums.
We can't seal the entrances anyway, the dome wasn't built to be breathable like a shirt, its just a generic toxic atmosphere-proof dome. (the atmosphere is breathable, though)Knew it!
Update making.
Then again, with enough concrete...
Post by: Aklyon on December 20, 2010, 12:56:37 am
They come, and The Dome is fully prepared. 5 come per side, barely strong enough to count as scouts.

Griph slices through all 5 of the weaklings with ease, and calls a challenge to the forest. "Is that all you got?!" >:( 8)
Bo stands at them there gate,which one was it 'gain? East? na, there ain't no east gate ya dummy! The West Gate! Bo is standing at the Western Gate wi' Betty!
...Where is my goshdarn backup guy? Ah, there he..is...George the murderer?! Well, as long as 'e keeps his damn distance, I s'pose it'll be fine.
George just stands there, listening to the loud redneck. Why oh why did he have to help the freaking redneck shotgunner? Griph, Twil, even Vads would've been better! But Griph went and volunteered to die, so I'm stuck with the new guy. *sigh*
Rolls:18,11
Bo blasts 3 right out, and severely injures 1 more. While he reloads, George slices it and the other to pieces.
Twil stands at the Northeast gate, glad theres finally something to shoot.Of course, there being stuff to shoot is actually a bad thing on this scale, but look at 'um! they shouldn't even be counted as scouts, the tiny lil buggers!
Vads also stands at the Northeast gate, wondering who the hell let the movie plot loose. Oh well,he thinks, a jobs a job. *Cha-chink!*
Rolls:20,5 (WTF?)
Twil shreds all 5 to pieces beofre Vads even notices them, and then yells at Vads for not helping.
Griph's high rolls will be more slightly damaging than the others, to offset his loneness a bit.
Any RP talking you guys want to do (or non RP), or should we skip to day 2?
Post by: Twi on December 20, 2010, 01:01:05 am
Notes for various actions that are not RP nor combat: Construct waist-height barricades at Northeast and West Gates. We need cover for our gunners.
For RP:
----
Twi contemplated the hopelessness of their situation.
"There's no way we can survive the horde like this. There are three entrances and only five soldiers to defend them. A good fortress can hold out against massively greater numbers of foes, but this isn't a good fortress. Our best bet would be to seal off two of the entrances with concrete and fortify the third like there's no tomorrow: maybe even shut ourselves off from the outside world completely, but we need the tech from the outside. We need some serious force multipliers: powered armor; robotic defenses, or remote defenses controlled by the citizenry; better weapons; more people; anything."

Use some rubbish to scatter around the entrance at ankle to knee hight to slow them down a bit, leave a winding path clear in case we want to leave for whatever reason threw the gate.

RP: Godamn redneck, how can i tell what the hell is he saying. "Um. bo? Could you please say that again, I didn't understand you the first time. "
While blocking off the entrance completely wouldn't work, and barricades would be bad for the swords people, i think we should bottleneck it a bit so only a few of them can come through at a time.

Post by: Twi on December 20, 2010, 07:06:27 pm
We need some sort of defense, preferably both passive and active.
Hell, all the entrances should be partially barricaded: melee fighters can benefit to some extent from cover and particularly from having a chokepoint so they don't necessarily face as many opponents as once.
But anyways, query:
How's our electricity status? We might be able to power some sort of laser or railgun weapons with it.

Post by: Aklyon on December 20, 2010, 07:53:18 pm
They come, and The Dome is still fully prepared. 5 again come per side, but they've evolved into a sort of heavy scout now.
Spoiler: Map (click to show/hide)
Griph Stands at the Southern Gate still, looking at the stronger doomy doomthings. But he sees their resemblance the the weaklings from yesterday and charges out!
Roll: 19
Pfft. If this is how it'll be, Griph thinks, this 'll be a pretty easy job. All 5 were laughably easy to kill.
Bo and George, while not very happy together, are still at the West Gate and neither is dead yet, so they ready themselves for the second day of horrible doomy doomthings.
Rolls:0 (:o),10
Bo is horribly bit in the leg by a Heavy Scout! The injury is Serious but not fatal! George manages to kill the biter, and 1 other, before having to help Bo retreat. The builders temporarily reroute a charge to stun the 3 remaining Heavy Scouts, but those two better do well tomorrow, otherwise those monsters will break into the dome!
Twil and Vads reload and wait. They don't really seem to want to talk at the moment.
Rolls:0,2
Twil and Vads are Near-Fatally injured, and didn't even get a shot off first! The gate is slammed shut so they don't both die, but now both other doors must stay open!
there are now 5 TINY ALIENS dead and ready to trade. But damn, 3 Crit. fails in one turn! You guys can just rejoin if theres no one on the list, but as a different colonist. Twil and Vads are stuck in the medical ward for a turn, after that you two can either stay an extra turn to heal fully, or tough it out ad hope your remaining injuries don't get you killed
Health:
Griph: OK!
Bo: Serious Injury! (-3 to roll next turn if you continue fighting anyway)
George: OK!
Twil: Near Fatal Injury! (forced retreat, no action next turn)
Vads: Near Fatal Injury! (forced retreat, no action next turn)

Also: the builders saved the northeast gate by shocking the monsters?
Here's the problem: We just have too many points to defend and not enough people or autonomous firepower (read: bots) to defend them.
I'll tough it out when I can get in.
RP time!
Man, the heroic sacrifice character is having the least difficulty.Indeed, that is ironic.

Then the virus came, and everyone PANICKED!

And seriously, if he says that we need to keep as many entrances open a possible then we do. I suspect the reason that he allowed the gate to be closed was because he didn't feel like having the game end on day two because of unlucky rolls.

More Heavy Scouts come at the (for now) severely underarmed dome city.
Spoiler: Map (click to show/hide)
Griph Stands at the Southern Gate, somewhat unnerved by the rash of horrid luck yesterday. But that doesn't matter now, what matter is protecting this gate!!!!
Roll: 13
Oof! he goes as he just manages to knock away a jumping Heavy Scout with his Addy Sword. He still manages to kill 4 of them, and the remaining one flees back into the forest.
Bo's still a'hurtin from that there nasty leg bite,but hes reloading Betty anyway! Can't let the town down just 'cause I got bit crazy 'ard!
George sighs at having to listen to the redneck even though he should've gone back, but he doesn't complain openly, they can't afford anymore losses!
Rolls:0-3= -3, 12...
Bo is decapitated by a jumping Heavy Scout! His head trips George while he's charging forward, and almost trips him. George manages to kill 3, but the three from last time return!
Luck Roll: 4
George manages one shot with Bo's shotgun and kills another 2 (scaring the last three off until tomorrow), but blasts his right foot off doing so!
Twil and Vads hear Griph's oof, Bo's death, and George's shriek after he realizes his foot is gone, and become depressed. Do they really want to go back out there?, they both think. Its nice and safe in the med ward, no doom monsters, or gunfire, or horrid luck...
Door Integrity: 16
The closed gate remains nearly unscathed by the clamoring Heavy Scouts.
there are now 5 TINY ALIENS and 9 SMALL ALIENS dead and ready to trade. Goddamn do you guys have bad luck with random.org today!
Health:
Griph: OK!
Bo: DEAD!
George: Heavily Bleeding Injury! (I suggest retreat, if you don't and fail your luck roll again you'll bleed to death.)

*Insert screaming madly in RP format here, before calming down*
Ahem.
We seem to have horrible luck. Solution: Either stack the odds in our favor, or have more rolls to go through (robots with lasers!). The law of averages will save us, or at the very least, prolong our lifespan.
Speaking of robots with lasers, query: How are those generators going? I know it's silly to ask every update, but I want a completion time. ::)
Other random stuff:
Ventilation system, so we can close off more entrances at a time? I know you don't want to, but we need to do something to prevent bad luck from crippling us as much, not to mention increase our defensibility.
Defend one of the open entrances: We'll have to hope the western gate holds out.

BlastoiseWarlorf suggested arriving with the ship. I suggest you let him.
Also, the below is not RP format whatsoever. Just my ideas.
----
TRADE PRIORITIES:
Weapons, weapons, more weapons!
Generators. We need the power.
Robots with lasers or whatever. More rolls means the law of averages is more likely to save us.
Concrete? Like I said, we need to chokepoint them. I'd go with a ventilation system (with insane defenses, of course, or possibly just a whole lot of grates and concrete) and a single ground entrance. Generally speaking, any building material we can use for mesh gates or drawbridges or fortifications would be useful.
People?
Dunno what else would they bring...

SOMEONE MUST GET.
Here's what I'd do.
If we wanted full weapons:
1 Chainblade.
2 Tesla Blasters.
1. Sniper Rifle.
1. Shovel.
Alternatively:
1 Sniper Rifle
2 Tesla Blasters
3 Razor Wire
2 Shovel.
Generally, I'd go for the Sniper and two Tesla Blasters: a chain lightning effect would be powerful.

For the future: if one of you needs random crap, just say you found it near something. If you need specific random stuff, ask a (profession) colonist. 99% of the time there will probably be one you could get stuff from. (the other 1% is either monsters broke in and killed them, or you're being too specific.)

Even More Heavy Scouts come at the city that has taken its first casualty of war. (I delayed the next tier of doomies due to the horrid luck, hope ya'll are luckier next turn!)
Spoiler: Map (click to show/hide)
The trader gives all of you your stuff, and calls for his helpers to drag the dead things inside.
Griph now has Chainblade and dual shovels!
Vads has Assault Rifle, 1 spool of razor wire, 3 Highly faulty grenades (75% chance face boomage) and 6 normal faulty grenades (50% face boomage)
Twil is now a Sniper!
Zeno has a Tesla Blaster!
Griph Stands at the Southern Gate, testing out his new blade. pretty interesting, but it reminds him of the Ratchet&Clank game series for some reason.
Roll: 13
Griph manages to kill all 5, but only with noticeable effort. the Chainblade was a major help, though!
Zeno steps up to the Western gate, sees the small spots of blood the janitors missed (and all the greenish black goo sprayed around the outside of the gate) and starts getting his gun charged. He's left the supercharge off today, though.
George looks at the new mercenary, decides he's at least a bit luckier then Bo was, and hops away towards the med ward,trailing blood behind him from both leg and severed foot held in hand.
Rolls:20!
Zeno blasts the first one he sees, and to his utter luckiness, this one mutated into part metal! the charge from his shot hits it and arcs into the brains of the other 4, killing them all in one shot!
Twil and Vads reluctantly drag themselves back to the Northeastern gate, and get re-setup.Vads sets up a trap using some string, 3 grenades, and some razor wire.
Twil drags over a table as a makeshift Sniper position as the door opens, and all 10 of the accumulated Heavy Scouts dash in!
Rolls:19-1=18,16-1=15
Trap Roll:4
The trap does not activate, they all jumped over it! luckily, Twil's former military training saves them, as he headshots half of them in as many shots! Vads slices up the rest with minor difficulty.
there are now 0 TINY ALIENS and 15 SMALL ALIENS dead and ready to trade. Griph has 5 SMALL in his pile. Trader is still there, though slowly packing up. The trap is still set and ready.
Health:
Griph: OK!
Zeno: OK!
George: Injured!
Twil: OK!
Vads: OK!
Spoiler: Alas, we hardly knew thee. (death list) (click to show/hide)

Twil pats the sniper rifle affectionately, then begins work- or rather, delegation of work to people who know how to do it- on the MISC OBJECT RAILGUN!, currently being built to fire sharpened d6s at insane speeds, and equipped with a semi-auto mechanism.

GENERIC MOOK-LIKE, NON-SCOUT enemies have evolved! (long name is long, but thats pretty much the next step up)
Spoiler: Map (click to show/hide)
Griph Stands at the Southern Gate. (I don't want to start repeating myself, and you keep getting lucky rolls, Lilli! so lack of description you have, sorry.)
Roll: 9
Griph manages to kill 3 and slice off a piece of another. it runs over the 5th one while retreating, and that one chases after the offender.
Zeno sits at the Western Gate, smug in his epic first battle solo. He flips on the supercharge, just to be more awesome.
George stays in the med ward to make sure his newly re-stitched up foot doesn't fall off mid-battle, or something like that.
Rolls:20-2=18!
Zeno blasts the first one he sees, and the charge splits and hits all 5 at once!
NEW ITEM: Cooked Mook. (edible? Can be used as a blunt weapon.)
Twil and Vads stare at Zeno's ridiculous victory dance, and wonder if he'd kept all the luck to himself. Hopefully not...
Rolls:18,0
Trap Roll:0
The trap activates while Vads is checking it, and blows him apart!
Vads, Novice Trap Maker, has been struck down.
Twil's aim is knocked waaay off by the explosion, but he manages the bludgeon the last 2 Mooks to death with the sniper rifle butt before they get a hit in.
there are now 0 TINY ALIENS, 15 SMALL, and 5 MEDIUM ALIENS dead and ready to trade. Griph has 5 SMALL and 5 MEDIUM in his pile. Trader is about to leave.
Health:
Griph: OK!
Zeno: OK!
George: OK!
Twil: OK!
Vads: DEAD!

By the way, I remember what I wanted to ask:
Exchange rate between different kinds of aliens corpses.
Now then: RAILGUN.
Also, TRAIN FELLOWS IN AVOIDING DEATH, preferably a training that gives us more rolls to go through before we get owned. We seem to have a serious problem with luck.

why didn't I think of that when I made this?
hmm...ideas? the doomy doom monster scale goes from TINY to HUEG (tiny, small, medium, large, huge, and HUEG. the last one is boss-size)

Electrical Report, Year
Horrible doomy doom monsters, just as we're finally self-sufficient! Noes!
*ahem* The report is as follows:
Surplus/Backup generators: Destroyed.
Main In-dome generators: 100% operational.
Normal electrical use: 25% of current remaining power.
Reserve Backup: 50% of remaining power, just enough to power everything for a month at minimum power if all else lost.
Improvised Anti-Air Outer Dome Electrification (IAAODE):20%, prone to irregularities in defensiveness. Will need to be deactivated if dome is breached, so as not to lightning blast any of us near the possible breach.
Unused:5%, just in case of a sudden spike in power usage in the IAAODE, or any other important systems. alternate use: Monster stunning.
End Report.

The engineer might have fudged that number a bit to give him/friends a few volts extra, or may have not. Either way, it all still adds up to 100%, so theres no overusage and thus Its probably fine for now.

DAY 6
MOOKs continue to attack the domed city as Trader leaves.
Spoiler: Map (click to show/hide)
Griph Stands at the Southern Gate and digs some trenches.
Roll: 17 +1 trench defensive bonus=18
Griph laughs as the silly mooks fall in the trenches, but not hard enough that he forgets to stab them! The grossness of the pools of greenish black goo now in his trenches could be used as a moat, but he doesn't really want to touch the stuff.
Zeno sits at the Western Gate, smug. Nothing will go wrong, both of them are here now!
George returns to see his partner is still Not-dead. this is a good thing, he thinks. The lack of more greenish black goop and multiple scorch marks is a bit odd, though.
Rolls:2-2=0,7
Zeno knocks himself and George unconscious with the backfired charge! the engineers electrocute the mooks so much the lights dim for a second, just barely stunning them.
Twil is to excited about his new DICE RAILGUN to notice Kenwashi appear with his dual Adamantium Katara.
Kenwashi seems to be a bit miffed by the lack of greeting, but the constructed thing Twil is messing with does look quite useful if it works.
Rolls:17,6
Railgun Roll:19
Twil easily picks of 2 of them, but Kenwashi's attempted charge end up with him being punched in the face by a mook. he stabs that one in the arm and retreats to the railgun, which he has much better success with, killing 3 of them with multiple dice to the face.
there are now 0 TINY ALIENS, 15 SMALL, and 10 MEDIUM ALIENS dead and ready to trade. Griph has 5 SMALL and 10 MEDIUM in his pile. Trader has left.
Health:
Griph: OK!
Zeno: OK! (but unconscious)

Twil: OK!
Kenwashi: OK!

*highfives rty in OOC, and highfives John in RP*
Now then- the mounted weapons are a good idea, give us more rolls to kill stuff with and avoid epic fail.
Replace the batteries, and build another such railgun, preferably two. One for each gate. Like I said, more rolls means that we have more chances to get lucky, and the railgun is a fairly safe weapon to critically fail. At worst, the batteries would blow up, or the wires would melt. There should be enough material that the batteries blowing wouldn't be dangerous, though it would certainly make the thing not work. Same with the wires.

Griph Roll:13
--Ranged Chainblade roll:11
--For guessing it right: +1
25/40
Griph manages to make several decent cuts in the boss!
Kenwashi Katara roll:18
--Dual-Wielding Roll:8
26/40
Kenwashi throws one of his Katara and stabs an eye out of the mook! Its half blind!
Zeno Roll:3
--Tesla Charge Roll:13
16/40
The electrical shock doesn't seem to affect it much, but it bellows in pain when the shock reaches its stabbed eye, the metallic sword quickly drawing the remaining charge into the eye! It is bleeding heavily from the left eye now!
George Sword Roll:11
--Plasma Roll:16
27/40
George manages to slice a good-sized chunk out of its right leg, increasing the bleeding but completely disgusting Griph! George is now covered in the greenish black goo-blood of the horrible doomy doom monsters, but seems unaffected.
Twil Sniper Roll:15
--Steadyness Roll:18
33/40
Twil makes several almost perfect shots, but can only reach the chest due to being so close to it! The thing bellows louder.
Railgun Roll: 19!
an engineer nearby sees the beast and panics! but he bumps into the railgun on his way and sets it off, shredding the remaining part of the boss' right leg. It falls over, hitting the IAAODE and shrieking in pain from the sudden shock! After causing all non-emergency lights to go out due to such a extended use of the IAAODE, it gives in to the pain, and slumps atop the dome, dead. th IAAODE is temporarily disabled so they can regain power, and you five hear cheering scattered through out the dome as the lights gradually return and the massive doom-thing is seen dead.
HUZZAH!!
(Dome Integrity:19)
Thankfully though, it didn't hit the dome with too much force. the engineers can buff that out later.
(You guys killed before its turn to attack came! all hail railgun!)
there are now 0 TINY ALIENS, 15 SMALL, and 10 MEDIUM ALIENS dead and ready to trade. Griph has 5 SMALL and 10 MEDIUM in his pile. the HUEG BOSS is laying atop the dome, blocking off sunlight for the majority of the northeast quadrant.

Griph: OK!

George: OK!
Twil: OK!
Kenwashi: OK!

High-fives all around! We live another day!
And we did it fairly easily, to boot.
No injuries at all, just a little dome damage.
I can't even think of anything to whine about. :D
EDIT: Oh yeah, I in fact have several things to whine about.
The giant boss on top of the dome. What are we gonna do about that?
Also, the possibility of semi-autonomous guns to shoot monsters with. Yes/no? Do we need moar power? (Probably).
Manufacture Fusion Sparks?

Moar power? I'd respond to that, but you probably already know the answer.

rty: IAAODE was safely disabled via engineer. the IAAODE is only a semi-powerful electrical field surrounding the dome, thus undamageable except via EMP.

Lets try covering the tools with something tough and organic, since it seems that it doesn't eat through it.
Also, it would be nice in the regular updates if you say who had the roll more clearly (eg. bo:10. george:12, instead of bo&george 10,12), pretty small, but it would be nice.

1. Iron is dissolved by it
2. Humans are not affected by external exposure (and there probably isn't anyone stupid enough to test internal)
3. It mutates/evolves things until they stop dying from it, somewhat like Phazon.
4. the doom virus is carried within it.

The MOOK LORD TRIUMVIRATE (formerly THOSE SLIGHTLY BIGGER MOOKS IN A TRIANGULAR FORMATION,but in charge now that the megamook lay gushing on the dome.) are on a Roaring Rampage of Revenge! (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/RoaringRampageOfRevenge) They've brought 4 MOOKS each with them, and have BODY ARMOR!
Spoiler: Map (click to show/hide)
Griph Stands at the Southern Gate and cleans his Chainblade while the cleaner cleans. It having finished, He prepares for the MOOK LORD OF THE SOUTH.
Roll: 1
--Ranged Chainblade Roll: 17
+1 trench bonus, 19/40
Griph CHAINSTABS the 4 lesser mooks in the face, but is PIERCED THROUGH THE RIGHT LEG by the MOOK LORD. Ow. The SOUTHERN MOOK LORD then laughs at Griph and leaves, surprising everyone.
Zeno stands at the Western gate and wishes George had washed himself off yesterday. Ugh.
George wipes his face off and his sword off, turns the sword back on, and decides not to ask Zeno why he's standing a bit farther away then usual. Hopefully not a grenade.
Zeno Roll:2
--Tesla Charge roll:6
8/40
George Roll:14
--Plasma Roll:4
18/40
Zeno zaps a mook and then get bit by another in the nose. and in the right foot. double ow.
George jumps over the 3 mooks, lands behind the MOOK LORD OF THE WEST, and backstabs him Halo-style with his plasma sword. Unfortunately, that then leaves him both 1. standing in yet more goo-blood and 2. on the wrong side of the gate. He just barely makes it back to Zeno, who is cursing so loudly about having gotten bit in the nose the remaining mook is seriously considering running away.
Twil, guarding Mr. Blacksmith and his apprentices as they continue chopping, is actually in a better position to use his Sniper Rifle than before. Perhaps, he thinks, perhaps I could ask the engineers for an insulated suit...
Kenwashi is annoyed about how hard it is to get dried mook eye goop off his Katara. other then that, he's pretty fine,though.
Twil Roll:16
--Sniping Roll:18
-- +2 for high elevation
-- -1 for slick footing due to all the goo-blood
Total:35/40!
Kenwashi Roll:12
--Dual Wielding Roll:14
26/40
Railgun Roll:14
Twil Headshots the MOOK LORD OF THE NORTH! he also headshots the EASTERN MOOK LORD just because he can see him from up here. he then snipes 1 mook before almost slipping off the dome. Kenwashi cleans up the rest, not bothering to turn the railgun on this time.
there are now 0 TINY ALIENS, 15 SMALL, 25 MEDIUM ALIENS and 20 and counting HUEG CHUNKS. dead and ready to trade. Griph has 5 SMALL and 10 MEDIUM and some of the HUEG CHUNKS in his pile. Trader is on long-range radar now.
Health:
Griph: Injured!
Zeno: LOUDLY Injured!
George: OK! (mostly)
Twil: OK!
Kenwashi: OK!
Spoiler: Alas, we hardly knew thee. (click to show/hide)

*asks engineers about said suit*
---
Gasp! The OOC is at the bottom! This update had too many caps! It's probably my fault!
I want that insulated suit, so I can snipe from the dome.
Also, gonna randomly wonder if our weapons are even conductive to electricity: as of the real world, many firearms are made of lightweight plastics rather than metal, and the number is growing. And this is the future. Plastics =/= conduct electricity.
Caltrops? Good idea.
Also, another railgun probably happens, possibly two. The first one took two days, but now I have Blastoise's help, plus I know what I'm doing.
Post by: Aklyon on December 22, 2010, 08:37:43 pm
Except when they're thrown in enemies.

Post by: Twi on December 22, 2010, 08:43:32 pm
Well, I intended to make three railguns, one for each gate, regardless.
Caltrops are little pointy tetrahedron pointy things with four spikes arranged so that one edge always faces up. They hurt when you step on them. Also used as road spikes sometimes.

"Getting on top of that dome and shooting things, of course! What else?"
Post by: rty275 on December 22, 2010, 08:45:01 pm
Basically a pointy thing you put on the ground that stabs peoples feet, making them slower.
I propose we scatter them away from the entrances, but close enough to not hit doomy doom monsters that aren't coming for us

Weapons:
Stolen Nod flamethrower: 5 medium, only two left.
Beam Katana: 5 small.

ARMORED BEASTIES evolve from the mooks! 5 charge at each gate!
Spoiler: Map (click to show/hide)
Griph Stands at the Southern Gate and organizes his new equipment. The Chainblade is in one hand, the Greatbow next to him leaning on the gate, and the flamethrower sitting next it it. His leg still is in much pain.
Roll: 3
--Ranged Chainblade Roll: 11
+2 electro-trench bonus
-1 for injury
-1 for armored foe, 14/40
Griph manages to kill 3 of them, and two are stunned by falls into the electro-trench. A scientists sees this, and runs back towards the engineers to ask about a new stun cage idea after seeing the trenches.
Zeno, still grumbling, walks back to the med ward.
George now has TWO ENERGY SWORDS! But he had to take a shower first to be able to get near Trader.
--Tesla Charge roll:
George Roll:8
--Dual Wielding Roll:3
-1 for armored foe, 10/40
George beats two of them, but is knocked into the building behind him by the other 3! Trader's guards both pick up the remaining flamethrower and roast the 3 before they get any farther in, and them appropriate the remains of all 5 near George as payment.
Twil, now insulated in his suit atop the now fully powered, IAAODE-protected dome, reloads his sniper rifle and looks for the weakest point of armor. It reminds him of the old days in the military.
Kenwashi puts down his plans and notices Twil atop the dome in the suit. "Great idea, dude!" He yells, and Twil waves at him before returning to his search.
Twil Roll: 3
--Sniping Roll:1
+2 for high elevation
-1 for armored foe, 5/40!
Kenwashi Roll: 2
--Dual Wielding Roll: 3
-1 for armored foe, 4/40!
Railgun Roll: 18 (armor not heavy enough for railgun penalty)
Twil and Kenwashi failtrain, bigtime. Thank god for plugged-in Railgun at full power!
there are now 0 TINY ALIENS, 5 SMALL, 25 MEDIUM ALIENS and 50 HUEG CHUNKS. dead and ready to trade. Griph has 0 SMALL and 3 MEDIUM and some of the HUEG CHUNKS in his pile. Trader is here.

Post by: Aklyon on December 23, 2010, 06:26:10 pm
And while it is possible that you guys could set up enough turrets if we had the materials, we don't. We only have enough for the stun cage and another railgun. (most of what was stored was used to rebuild the secondary generators)
And if you guys leave the dome you could get ambushed, surrounded, surprise attacked, smushed by HUEG BOSSES who didn't even notice you, and probably have to fight to even get into the likely doomie-infested ore mines.
You guys also have no picks or hauling equipment, and good luck trying to convince the miners to leave the dome.

Also, Twi, you never answered my question about the grenades.

Twi, there was only 5 sets of explosives. do you want me to give you 10 grenades?

Didn't see the question. Thought they were bought in groups of 5, and there were 5 of those available. I'll take all of them, then.

I think what Aklyon means by "moving wall trap" is actually a moving trap mounted on a wall.Yes. Or a guy running back and forth behind the wall with a flamethrower stuck through a line in the wall, if you guys want to save as much as possible.

The laser wall would just depend on having a laser and something that wouldn't be damaged by it on the other side. If we have the power, do it.
Okay, so we can do it, but we can't power it indefinitely. Oh well. It's not like we actually fight the enemies all day, anyways.

In the case of critical failure causing it to explode, it has its own compartment. You shouldn't be standing under it in the first place. Also, flamethrowers don't use oil, they usually use flammable liquids for military grade and flammable gases for commercial brand, so shrapnel is really the main worry.

Tech:lasers, hoverships, fusion reactor/generators (with assistance), space travel good enough to reach the nearest in-system Imperial station in a reasonable amount of time. (or Republic, Alliance, etc. The galactic gov't isn't really important to the game, just Trader and his network of friends/affiliates/spies)FTL possible (just need to request the blueprints from the station), but we don't have the power or resources to build ships right now.
@armor: Medium creatures (like mooks or the armored beasties) are somewhere between average person and average elephant in size. Small creatures are no bigger than the largest cow. Tiny creatures are anything smaller than a pony. the armored things are on the elephant end of the medium scale.

Do we really want to risk that rty?Well, it is the MISC OBJECT RAILGUN, it is designed that way to take advantage of infinite free dice. :D
Twi: Your railgun confuses and infuriates me.
As for railgun/coilgun: No.
Railgun has the projectile completing a circuit between the rails, and the magnetic forces generated push it forward, really fast.
Coilgun involves, well, coils. Don't remember exactly how it works.

Not enough materials to automate the defenses so as to send them to reclaim mining operations, but if we do not we will not have enough.

Start towards the distant areas (unless by distant you mean over 15 miles)They're likely hopelessly lost by now, the villages weren't at all defendable. (No one expected anything to attack except the occasional easily shot raider, so they felt it would be wasting materials building walls around all of the towns.)

An IMMENSE SWARM of TINY SCOUTS charges at the gates! there are 40 per gate! (using 2 d20s to keep the same scale as multi-roll)
Spoiler: Map (click to show/hide)
Griph Stands at the Southern Gate and hopes he doesn't die. How is he supposed to kill 40
Combined Roll (includes below bonuses/minuses): 25
+2 electro-trench bonus
-1 for being totally outnumbered
Griph grabs the flamethrower and starts it up. But goddamn is that thing hot! he can barely hold it long enough to fry half of the 40. 10 fall in the electro-trench, and the rest flee form the extreme heat. All 10 fit in the stun cage, surprisingly, but the engineers refuse to give up one of their last spare insulated suits yet.
The Southern gate is now BLACKENED BUT CLEAN.
Zeno charges back to the gate, but stops before he's stampeded to death by the things.
George Prepares.
Zeno Combined Roll: 36
-1 for being totally outnumbered
George Combined Roll: 14
-1 for being totally outnumbered
Zeno gets kill after kill after kill with his new energy Greatbow from an alternate reality, but he can only shoot so much before tiring. George manages to kill the last few with a fancy looking series of strikes from both swords though, so they're good.
Twil looks at his sniper rifle and wishes it was part machine gun. So many doomies!
Kenwashi breathes in, out, and prepares to hopefully not die.
Twil Combined Roll: 7 :o
+2 for high elevation
-1 for being totally outnumbered
Kenwashi Combined Roll: 1 (two ones, minus 1 from the outnumbered minus below) :o :o :o :o
-1 for being totally outnumbered
Railgun Roll: 7 (1d20)
+2 Swarm attack bonus
+1 plugged in power bonus
Explosives Roll: 5 (1d20)
Twil manages a few shots, but is heavily hampered by his sniper rifle's lack of full auto. The mining explosives do manage to kill a good chunk of them, but theres still more than twenty of them, and Kenwashi is trampled to death before he can reach the railgun. Trader's guards fry them all with the flamethrower to protect their ship, then giggle with glee thinking of how much profit they'll get from 20 tiny dead aliens no one else has seen before.
Kenwashi Nokami, Swordsman, has been struck down.
there are now 60 TINY ALIENS, 5 SMALL, 25 MEDIUM ALIENS and 50 HUEG CHUNKS dead and ready to trade. Griph has 20 TINY, 0 SMALL, and 3 MEDIUM ALIENS, and some of the HUEG CHUNKS in his pile. Trader is hiding in his ship while his assistants pack up the stuff. The miners hear ominous noises from the other side of the caved-in mine entrance. 1 stays near there while the others retreat and begin to think of ways to trap the minecart tunnel without impairing the cart tracks.
Health:
Griph: OK!
Zeno: OK!
George: OK!
Twil: OK!
Kenwashi: DEAD!

Railguns filled with grapeshot thus super shotguns.
Super shotguns thus capable of taking out large amounts or swarmers, and if he has no time to reload, reverse the grip, and they are tesla kataras again.

A GIANT ARMORBEAST is attacking! it is more Armor than beast. (HUEG, bad midweek luck roll.)
Spoiler: Map (click to show/hide)
Griph dashes over to help Zeno & George!
Griph Combined Roll: 35
-2 heavy armor penalty
Zeno Combined Roll: 24
-2 heavy armor penalty
George Combined Roll: 17
-2 heavy armor penalty
Twil & John rush over to help as well! John also brings the second railgun.
Twil Combined Roll: 15
-2 heavy armor penalty
John Combined Roll: 14
-2 heavy armor penalty
Railgun Rolls: 10,7 (1d20)
-1 heavy armor penalty
+1 plugged in power bonus
Griph manages to get a strong hit in, as does Zeno, but no one gets a good, damaging hit in, and the railguns barely damage it. It stomps forward and attacks the defenders!
Armorbeast roll: 39!
Griph Save (must get at least half its roll, still 2d20): 30
Zeno Save: 7
George Save: 25
Twil Save: 29
John Save: 12
The beast brings down its massive armored fist, shaking the ground with the force of the blow!
Zeno, Archer, has been Crushed.
John, Rifleman, has been Crushed.
Griph dodges the blow fairly easily, while George and Twil just manage to avoid it. Shaking it off, they attack again!
Griph Roll: 29
George Roll: 30
Twil Roll: 40!
Railgun Rolls: 24,11 (1d20)
BOOM, HEADSHOT!
The things falls to the ground (this time not on the dome, thankfully), a surprised look on what would count as its face. The engineers quickly haul the thing in with the forklifts.
There are now 60 TINY ALIENS, 5 SMALL, 25 MEDIUM ALIENS and 2 HUEG bodies dead and ready to trade. Griph has 20 TINY, 0 SMALL, and 3 MEDIUM ALIENS, and half of one of the HUEG bodies in his pile. Trader has left. The miner guard hears more ominous noises from the other side of the caved-in mine entrance.

We need the machine gun for cutting down hordes, though.Yeah, i think that the armored foes and bosses are more of a threat though (which machine guns would do almost nothing to), even though it would kill fewer minis.
Proposal: that the turret have +3 vs armored/bosses, but -3 vs minis/swarms.
Also, sure why not open the mine, what could go wrong! [/tempting fate], but seriously, lets give it a try.
Post by: Aklyon on December 27, 2010, 06:33:25 pm
Heavily Armored foes/armored bosses: Very Armored, but probably never more than 5 of them at a time per gate.
Swarms: Really bad for swordsmen. Likely not armored.
Which turret are you talking about, lemon? the Railguns have -1 to heavy armor, but +2 to Swarms.

Armored foes: less, but tougher.I was talking about the plasma turrets that were brought up just a minute ago.
Heavily Armored foes/armored bosses: Very Armored, but probably never more than 5 of them at a time per gate.
Swarms: Really bad for swordsmen. Likely not armored.

Hey, a poll!
Post by: Aklyon on December 29, 2010, 08:54:23 pm
Griph brings the flamethrower down, sticks the flaming end through the hole, and turns it on. the entire other side of the rock is set aflame! the scheeches echoing through the flamethrower are drowned out by what seems to be goo-encased rock either melting or burning. But at least one monster survived, and it pounds the wall down in one shot, sending the now damaged and deactivated flamethrower smashing into a miner, who explodes into gore!
You five are in the Dimly-Lit Minecart Tunnel. there is a RAGING, FLAMING, HEAVILY ARMORED BEAST OF DOOM standing in the remains of the caved-in wall, charging at you!
Defense:
-1 low visibility
-1/+1 close quarters fight
-1 Heavily Armored monster
Monster:
+2 RAGE bonus
+1 Heavy Armor
+1 Flaming bonus to attacks, -1 to defense
What now? (this is a Large class,not a HUEG, but the cramped space will let it get multi-hits if ya'll don't spread out!)

Fall back, use railguns to pierce its armor.
Post by: Aklyon on December 29, 2010, 09:21:43 pm
The Plasma turret would be better choice.
Also, you can use the guns as melee weapons, but expect damaged guns and not-very-effective attacks.

George, Twil, Harlon, and Nodachi remain. Nodachi reverses his grip and is now Tesla Katara-wielding. George detaches the plasma component and assembles a Plasma Turret out of the assorted shrapnel and rocks nearby. Twil backs up, while Harlon steps up.
All except Twil: -1 total mod, Twil has -2 due to having -1 for close quarters instead of +1.
Plasma Turret Roll: 1
George Roll: 20
Twil Roll: 4
Harlon Roll: 31
Nodachi Roll: 11
The beast sees the glowing Plasma turret and crushes it into shrapnel! It then sees Twil's mini targeting laser and charges after him! George gets a solid but not particularly penetrating shot on it, the charge just dissipates into the armor. Nodachi has far less success, not even getting a decent hit in, just getting knocked aside after scratching it. Harlon, though actually managing to pierce the armor with his fist, also almost gets his fist burnt off by the fact that its ON FIRE. Punching was not a very good idea here. But the beast ignores all the attacks, grabs Twil's gun, and smashes him into the wall, making Twil explode into gore and caving-in the rock on top of whats left of him. It then rips its fist out of the rubble, twisted and useless rifle in hand, and roars!
Twil, Sniper, has been struck down after colliding with an obstacle.
Tunnel Integrity check (1d20):5
The tunnel collapses on top of the beast! Unfourtunately, that leaves George and Nodachi stuck on the wrong side of the tunnel with no ranged support aside from Nodachi's Railgun Katara!

It's already dead, though the mine is supposed to be filled with DTs.I decided to give you guys a little help with the flamethrower thing. It brought out the boss-like faster, but ya'll didn't get immediately trampled to death since most of them were burnt. They'll attack if you guys start mining again, though. the ones that are left are the burrowers.
You two on the other side are only stuck on the other side because of a large pile of rubble; theres space you can yell through, and the miners will come after Harlon gets un-burned and tells them.
Also, I need that custom title, Twi. I can't finish adding you to the death list until I've got Twil's full name (which is Twil [title] in this case)

On the other hand, if that seems too inhumane, at least get more information about the mining village - how far away it is, how many people are there, all the supplies they have, and so forth - in order to make a better-advised decision. Alternatively, you could go for broke, get everyone killed, and have five new people attempt to somehow make the damn thing work.

"Oi! You two still alive back there?" says one of the miners as they push aside the last rock.
"Yes! Thank you! and we got a new guy,too!"
"Oh, nice, ya. Well, come on, the gates won't d'fend themselves (yet)!"
"But, the surviving village.."
"As much as it would help us, Furtaka, We don't have the manpower to feasibly do so without dooming our own home. They've survived this long, they can hopefully keep on doing so."
"Bu-"
"Sorry."
Furtaka: :'(
George & Nodachi: :-\ 8) :-X
next wave incoming. It'll be Week 2, Day 7, since it took a day for all of that to happen, and an extra day for Furtaka to get over it, and Harlon to be able to punch well again.

Griph, not knowing there was a surviving village, is confused when he sees Furtaka sad. He shrugs and goes to the southern gate.
Roll (Total, including bonuses): 33
+1 for Ridiculousness
*ShingSliceThud* Pretty much a day off to him. Hmm, is there a pub/tavern/bar in the dome?...
George and Nodachi, glad to be in daylight again, notice the sign is actually correct this time. 'East Gate' indeed.
George Roll:28
+1 for Ridiculousness
Nodachi Roll:21
+1 for Ridiculousness
Nodachi blasts the thing twice, and then sits down. George just stands there, not actually needing to do anything today.
Harlon sees the mook before the even get to the gate and dashes off, not even letting Furtaka finish his sentence.
Harlon Roll: 38
+1 for Ridiculousness
Furtaka Roll: 20
+1 for Ridiculousness
Harlon punches its head off, and then wipes his fists off. Done already? Furtaka finishes his sentence.

Tie? What tie? If there had been a tie, it has gone shoopdawhooppoof. Even if I had the right to vote, which I don't since that's not my character there, I'd be all for trying to reopen the mine again. I mean, y'know, the whole affair could have been more manageable with those people from that isolated mining village, but, hey, that would have been TOO much effort.Bitter much?
But yeah, it seems that almost everyone is in favor of restarting mining. Especially me with my BEAM SWORD

Post by: Aklyon on January 02, 2011, 07:00:50 pm
Spoiler: Explained Stuff (click to show/hide)
(19, 26)
10 burrowers pop from the ground, but are disposed of. the Miners get an average cartful of Material out.
190 burrowers still in the mine.
Tunnel #2 (of 10)
(18,12)
Another ten are struck down, the miners finding just enough for another average cartful.
Tunnel #3
10 Medium burrowers were alerted by your previous mining and come out!
(4, 24)
Surprised by the sudden size increase, you four defenders only manage to get 8 of them dead, but the miners manage to kill the last two. (170)
Tunnel #4
This tunnel wasn't reached by the flamethrower? Crap, theres 50 monsters in here!
(2, 10)
The lanterns are smashed during the fight, and you hear someone scream. But theres no time to see whether or not it was a miner of a defender, you have to keep moving! You can feel the rumbling of a larger burrower getting closer.
Tunnel #5
20 medium burrowers accost you as you enter the fifth tunnel!
(22,18)
Finally, the miners get another average cart of Material out! It wasn't without some major guess-swording, though, since no one wants to turn back for more lanterns, the vibrations are getting closer! (110)
Tunnel #6
AAAAHHH!!! (50 small)
(3, 27)
Barely being able to see a thing, someone else dies. You can't tell whats worse: Trying to mine near-blind and surrounded by doom monsters, or the large burrower chasing you. (60)
Tunnels 7&8 are hopelessly caved in, seemingly. the former entrances' piles of rock are covered with a black-glowing greenish goo, it looks like the same kind you saw aflame when the flamethrower was used.
Tunnel 9....None of you want to mention what happened in there.
All anyone ever got from them about it was "it was sticky...and those things...and, and....the clothes dissolving liquid...and...*dashes off yelling*"
Tunnel 10. lacking anywhere else to go, you now have to face the Large Tunneler. the oher 59 remaining monsters seem to be content in staying inside 7&8, or the sonar scan was incorrect.
(40, 30!)
Ya'll manage to kill it almost instantly, then help the miners push the full cart of Material into the dome. aside from your..experience in 9 and your lack of any clothes left between the 6 of you left, it was pretty successful. the Miners say they'll do it them selves from now on, and then dump the material with the rest and return to the depths with the cart, rifles in hands.
For the two deaths, I gave each of you a number (including the miners, so it went from 1-9), and used random.org to decide who died in the dark.

2 days later, you find several houses on fire, and somekind of chaingun-gun atop the town hall. A gun that triggers other guns that fire all at once. Genius, these people are. You wonder how such smart, yet short, people ended up thrown out of the dome to help with the mining. It also seems to work as a fairly good doomie repellent, though you wonder if it'll even scratch armor...

George has swords.
Griph is in the med. ward.

halfway there, the beasts fire. surprisingly, you see no mini launcher beasts. *KA-TOOMP!KA-TOOMP!KA-TOOMP!KA-TOOMP!* go the Artillery Beasts.
Saves:
Furtaka:31
Harlon:39
Nodachi(-1 for being farther away and thus easier for them to target):18
Leroy:4
Leroy is caught by a blast and is blasted into the dome! Hopefully the goo softened the blow, otherwise thats gonna hurt!
The four beasts are stomping frantically around as you get too close for them to aim!
Furtaka:40!
Harlon:40!
Nodachi:40!
[the narrator is too surprised by how damn lucky you guys were to continue this post.]
Seriously, how the hell did you guys manage to get SIX TWENTIES IN A ROW, with the same dice thats killed at least two characters since we've switched to using them? (Leroy, unfortunaely, did not survive his meeting with Mr/Mrs. Dome.)

In any case, Aklyon, do you mind doing a SUPER INVENTORY REVIEW. I easily lost track of every item brought, bought, and left upon the battlefield after an unseemly death. A shotgun hopefully unafflicted by Teh Suckage is all fine and well, but Gustave and I would like to see options.

4 Assault rifles (taken by the miners)
1 Addy sword (unused)

2 shovels
2 Railguns
1 Chainblade (Griph's)
1 Tesla/Railgun Katara (Nokami Clan's)

Also, if there are any nearby trees (nearby as within visible sight of the dome), and if proper sharp implements were at Mister Guischard's disposal, I reckon he'd like to attempt to harvest some lumber in an attempt to turn the surroundng land into an obstacle course. If such is unfeasible, he'd also like to consult with the Trader for gimmies like "an infinite supply of board games"; Gustave could use those to create a distracting landscape full of Life Tokens and Monopoly Money. Should THAT be unfeasible, he will inquire about borrowing a shovel before proceeding to make the land an offensive nightmare. Unsophisticated? Yes. Brutal? Absolutely. Funsies for everyone? YOU BET.
In addition to the above, he'd like to see about acquiring a Portable Light Source and an Adhesive Substance (such as duct tape) in order to have light in the event he must fight in the dark against the forces of doomy doom. If he could somehow take the blade of a sword and implement it as a bayonet (high quantities of realism, but let's consider what's been suggested thus far), that'd also help his shotgun not be afflicted by Teh Suckage, and it would go long and far towards helping Gustave slay his foes... so long as, y'know, he doesn't critically miss.
All right. That's enough wordiness. LET'S GET ON WITH IT! Implementing the above, that is. It'd be helpful. ^_^

NAMED BEAST Hykarino the Destroyer has made it to the dome after crushing at least 4 villages! He is Large, Extreme Armored, and is missing an arm!
Spoiler: Map (click to show/hide)
Griph keeps getting blocked by the doctors while trying to get out, even though he doesn't feel burnt. Argh.
Gustave and Nodachi stare at the thing stubbornly as it approaches them.
Gustave Roll:5
-5 armor penalty
Nodachi Roll:21
-5 armor penalty
+2 Electric
Harlon and Furtaka dash over.
Harlon Roll: 35
-5 armor penalty
Furtaka Roll: 20
-5 armor penalty
Gustave and Nodachi, being the closest, shoot first. Gustave's shotgun is unfortuitously of Teh Suck kind, and barely scratches the thing. Nodachi does much better, shocking it but also not actually hurting it. After getting over to East Gate, Furtaka stabs it to minimal effect, yet Harlon's massive sledgehammer blow damages it through the massive plate of armor! Woo for force transmission!
The beast roars in surprise after getting hit by Harlon, and SLAMS the ground!
Roll: 31
Saves (need half or more): 35,29,37,16
Everyone dodges the blow, Furtaka just barely doing so.
Any strategies, or just keep going?

Naturally, Gustave must yell the gist of this in a sardonic attitude while glaring at the NAMED BEAST and wondering why Teh Suck Shotgun had to reveal its true colours now.

SWITCH TO LONG RANGEWhy? the best hit you guys had was Harlon's massive, double 20-powered (the roll I post is after all the plus/minuses) blow that somehow didn't break his fist in two on impact. unless you're planning to catapult something like Trader's ship (whose arrival was overshadowed by the NAMED BEAST), you aren't going to do a thing.

You guys only have 2 more parts (Afternoon & Night of this Day) before its the next day and you have two waves at the same time.
Grimith: It took four villages to remove its arm, and they still got obliterated. of course, they had no domes or walls, but still.
Furtaka: Its cooled off/burnt away by now.

Does anyone know what happens (or if its even possible) to supercharge a railgun? If you can, and the luck holds a wee bit longer...I suspect that its impossible, because it is supercharging itself every time that it fires (i could be wrong, but thats sorta how i think they work). But if would be interesting if they could supercharge it with a 25-50% change of the railgun irreparably breaking each supercharged shot used, but have a huge positive impact as well (eg. +15, or +10 after taking the armor into account)

Griph hides in a box and sneaks out, but is promptly found after being noticed missing.
Well, at least the doctors know how to pay attention well.
Gustave and Nodachi reload, Harlon hops about in the Konami way, and Furtaka stands, but this time Nodachi plugs the Railgun Katara into the wall, crouches down, and half-holds the trigger button for a few seconds...
(44!!)
*THUNDERCRACK*
Nodachi is blasted into a nearby building as the almost dome-crackingly loud shot blasts of and hits Hykarino the Destroyer dead center, piercing the armor and causing him to roar almost as loud in pain! But as Hykarino the Destroyer stumbles forward with innards ruptured from the shockwave of the impact, it still manages to have the last laugh, smashing a gaping hole in the eastern part of the dome as it collapses to the ground.
You guys are still so lucky you broke my system and thus got both a perfect and a crit. fail at the same time! (19+20-5+10=44)

I mean so it might be valid for use in reinforcing the flying doomie doom deterrent.It doesn't need to be conductive for that. the field is being projected just slightly over the dome, not directly onto it, since the dome isn't conductive.

Furtaka finds the piece buried there in a utterly demolished anthill.
"Business is business, and you people will die eventually, just look at this thing. ya'll won only due to a lucky shot, and it took an eighth of your precious dome with it. As far as i see it, this one and only loose end will fix itself eventually, and I've got the connections to get a human-wearable version without a peep of it ever getting out early, then retiring early and comfortably.

@Lillipad ask away. I didn't actually have any specific chemicals in my list, so he probably has it if it wasn't sold already. most of the list is random things that could possibly be useful anyway, this was just picked at random from that.
Specifically:

First Weapon choice: Futuristic Assault Rifle
Bio/History: A standard robotic assistant, designed for heavy lifting and precise measurements on command and autonomous packing and sorting. It was found amongst the Trader's equipment and retasked to work on Dome repairs. After it was decided that it would need to defend itself it was mounted with weapons and armour and its programming was made to incorporate code from automated turrets. Unfortunately, it has picked up a habit of shooting anything it measures, and it measures everything it operates upon. Until these bugs can be sorted out, it has been placed on guard duty and told to sort the doomy dooms. Hopefully its strength and armour will make up for a lack of dynamic thinking and agility.

Incomplete list of what could happen when messing with Imperium-certified FTL engines with little to no knowledge of them (from the front of the manual about them):
DOOM (of various kinds, possibly interdimensional)
Planetary energy being sliced in two, creating a parallel universe anti-planet full of dark things that most likely will be aggressive (or light things if you somehow got a Imperium ship onto an evil planet)
Spontaneous black holes
Transformation into spaghetti-people.
Being Polymorphed into something that may or may not have a brain.
Other polymorphings not covered by the GFOAB free/minimum charge reversal policy.
Unexpected Smiting/Disintegration (in rare cases where there is a god that said dead being angered)
Portals of dubious stability.
Unexpected Food items, like Cakes.
(there is 3 references in that list, btw. guess them all right and get a cookie)

They don't really care about it, you guys could fly it to the station and call for help if you want. Would take a few days, though.
How many of us would it take to pilot the thing? Just one? I believe Gustave would have some experience with flying small craft. In that case, he could take it upon himself to, y'know, call for bigtime help to save the peaceful planet. After all, with the trader dead, Gustave's debt no longer exists. Might as well get this shit solved and GTFO so he can go murder someone more important to his plan for vengeance.

Worst-case, though, so what if we all go and the planet goes Das Kaput? We'd still be alive, and we (not me, really) sure as hell tried to save the day. The sooner the Imperium knows, the sooner they can maybe-possibly-somehow-probably-kinda-sorta-halfass attempt to deal with this.

First Weapon choice: unidentified weapon, it appears to function not unlike a grenade launcher but it uses magnets instead of explosives to proppel the grenade
Bio/History:An unidentified piece of machinery that was found surveying a morgue and collecting bodies, it was put in a lab to be tested but was put in a cell after it resisted, they didnt want to destroy it because they were curious. after the monsters arrived it escaped its cell and began fighting against the monsters

They're in a game with Doom Things, and the first action they've seen after an extended period of time is the anticlimactic end of our only source of stuff?Long Distance SpecOps gets all the long distance stuff that takes more than a few days at FTL to get to. Most of their time is spent travelling to far away places, or taking the long way to someplace to trick who they're following. Most of the time they end up either too late and all the fightings over already or they get too bored to actually do what the came for.

Griph is now The Power-Armored Lucky Chainswordsman.
Harlon is shiny.

The Peacekeepers leave and call for help, Griph fixes the settings of his power armor, and Nodachi seems to be successful, if being bioarmored but too heavy to move yourself counts as successful. No monsters appeared today for some unknown reason.
Short post is short, but thats really al that happened besides the engineers combining several forklifts together to start slowly pushing the thing off the dome section so its rebuildable.

I recommend giving him cyborg implants to boost his strenthThat could work for his legs, but all he really needs is a push to get him moving and legs hopefully strong enough to not immediately break. Then he can just charge forward, smash through the monsters like an angry armored van on a crowded road, and, well, pretty much do the same thing as the beast, but with more intelligence and less giantness.

...Hrm. More seriously, I think Gustave still wields the shovel. If Gustave could convince the engineers of the dome to make a shovel-staff in order to stab the forces of doomy doom in the neck before whirling the other end around and cracking their faces down into the dirt, then he'd have a gimmick of some kind, I reckon.

I like that! I got the idea from thinking about World War Z: an old, blind man uses some sort of spade/shovel-staff doohickeymabobberthingyjig of which I forgot the name to fend off a bunch of zombies; in particular, he uses the sharp edge of the shovel end to sever the heads of the zombies from the rest of their bodies. Since Gustave's wielding a shovel, and these monsters were supposed to be zombies, why not?

....The rocket barely moves Nodachi 50 meters before exploding and blackening the armor without damaging it. The cloud seems to slow down, though, so whatever it is must be afraid of loud noises.
Also, SPACE PIRATES are ATTACKING the PEACEKEEPERS SHIP. the STATION is apparently PIRATICALLY COMMANDEERED, which makes the chances of actual help coming EVEN LOWER.

Sonic resistance? Where would we get something traveling at super sonic speeds?Well, the smith metal fan's speakers are almost half the size of his one-car garage. thats some major sound waves hitting the dome when turned to 11.

Furtaka looks through the telesconoculars and sees, well, a dust cloud. apparently either the virus has spread to elementals, or its just mad at us for no reason. Looking up (after flipping them to the side to get the little telescope doodad that sticks out to the side of it to pop out), and sees the battle is STILL RAGING, BUT IS SLOWLY DRIFTING TOWARDS THE MOON.

my Idea now Lets just strap a ton of speakers turned on full blast to rty275 (with earplugs) and use the ship to drop him on the dustcloud
and then while it's dealing with that we go save the peacekeepers
unless we figure out how to fire the railgun into space

After much random button pushing and dashing in and out by engineers, the ships finally in a cannon-like position, and the red triangular button is pressed.
(24)
It makes a reasonable enough hit on one of the pirate ships, and they prepare to be boarded. Well, you think they do. they could e passed out drunk and having the ship set on auto-attack for all you can tell from down here.

So the cloud dispersed, right?The ship barely can stay high enough to drop you without (much) danger to the ship. trying to shoot you against gravity will require anti-gravity or a Zero-G-causing suit.

As the Peacekeepers board the pirate ship, they succeed quite well. But the second pirate ship that they forgot about cleanly slices through the boarding tube, stranding the LR SpecOps agents in a damaged pirate ship with a locked-down airlock as their ship becomes Asploded Space Junk.

(Escape Pod Saves: Furtaka-5/35 Gustave-35/40! Harlon-27/6)
You three see the CRITCOUCH coming fast, and decide to try to escape, there'll be a another ship coming eventually After taping a rock to the red triangular button, you flee to the pods. Furtaka's pod shortcicuits, and ends up just drifing away, while the other two launch successfully, Harlon's goes as planned, but it might not be enough. Gustave's was overprimed, however, and goes twice as fast away from the ship.
Unfortunately, though, the pirates pirated your luck! the CRITCOUCH hits the ship for a perfect Critical hit, obliterating the ship, missiles, and Harlon's pod! The shockwave from the blast knocks Furtaka pod's engine's back into line and blasts him in a random direction. Who knows where he'll end up?
it also damages the COMMANDEERED PIRATE SHIP heavily, though the SpecOps men manage to just barely stabilize it.
Gustave, even though blacked out from the impact of hitting the planet so fast in an escape pod, made it. He's a bit far from the dome, but still within sight of it.
Alive:
Griph
Nodachi
Gustave
Lost In Space:
Furtaka
Harlon
(Who had an application that I forgot to list? I'm pretty sure I forgot to update the waiting list. Don't need to repost it, just tell me the names)
Furtaka, you're technically dead, but until your pod dies feel free to try to save yourself. Its possible but not likely you'll make it back. The pod has about 3 days (6 actions) left, and 4 days of fuel. Keeping Life support working does not take an action.

Post by: Lillipad on January 16, 2011, 08:56:45 pm
are there any controls for the thrusters?
You have no spacesuit, but the pod has AMMO air, so as long as you aren't shot, you're fine. until you need water/food, of course. Pod controls are a floating orb, straight down fires every thing at the top, forward and to the left a bit fires some of the back and some of the port thrusters. Space Physics (inertia and so on) apply like normal, so think before you move. You're currently floating away from the explosion, slightly towards the station but not much.

All of the scouts are stunned for a moment while the hole spasms, but then all try to jump onto Nodachi. The rockets strain to keep him high enough to avoid them. These scouts seem to be controlled by a hivemind.Use the borce to try to psychically disrupt the hivemind's communications, and thought processes (as my attack in the turn instead of using my bight saber)

Whoa, Griph is still alive? I haven't been paying huge attention to the forum lately, so this is legitimately news to me.Griph is pretty much the immortal here, even though he was meant to be doomed at the start. Even when I stopped adding 2 to the roll because he obviously didn't need it anymore (even though he had twice the trouble as the rest due to being alone), he's never gotten more than a normal injury so far, with only a Chainblade and some traps. (and now powered armor as well)

We can't just walk in a random direction since this is a desert planet, eventually we would just die. And none of us have any way to contact other people (i could be wrong here though).
Try to use the borce to determine the direction of the dome (yeah, not sure how the borce could do this, but its worth a shot i suppose).

I always seem to be some kind of test subject in games Aklyon runs. Why is that?When else has it happened? So far nodachi seems to be the most test subject-y, you just seem like the ridiculuck guy with modular power armor.
(Sure, Twi. you're after the other three, if they're still interested when I get to them)
(also, Random.org can make really big numbers!)
Griph strains the power armor, but successfully throws a boulder in the general direction of the dome. it smushes a couple legions and only stops after minorly denting the dome.

Power Armor User Manual: Please call 1-379-2788 within visua-phone distance of a space station.
And you'd thought the engineers had built it, not bought it from Trader...

Who else was currently active in here, besides Furtaka, rty(Nodachi the flying rock/disco-ball), and Lillipad(Griph the Immortal of Ridiculuck)

Edit:Uh that was Lemon I think but I haven't seen him in like forever. There was also RAM I think

Sounds about right though.
Also, I do believe I remember rty275. From Knuckle Cracker
Or maybe I don't, dunno.
Post by: Aklyon on April 06, 2011, 09:42:50 pm
We should have 5, though. two per entrance + lone guard Griph.

Wait, what's this about removing Griph?It was about Not removing Griph. I was saying how i could fit the others in, but you're here so I don't really need to.
Also, as far as I can tell the fifth person was Grimith, which is unfortuitous after seeing something on a different forum recently about him.

Maaaan, I thought that this was the other Trapped. Curses!Hehe, I KNEW someone would get the two mixed up eventually!

Maaaan, I thought that this was the other Trapped. Curses!
This is the original Trapped. That other game is just some poser trying to be this. Or perhaps not, I haven't bothered reading it. Either way, I stand by my most likely incorrect opinion.

Still accepting players? Assuming this won't die again.
Post by: Aklyon on April 07, 2011, 05:18:15 pm
Anyway, Last call, Lemon10. speak or be replaced by adwarf. Grimith's character I can just hide in the town as a tinkerer or similar.

A small meteor fragment smashes into one of the artillery beasts, drawing all the attention away from you 5 even though it doesn't majorly injure it. Gustave sneaks into the dome and takes over a unused building, tired of fighting. The rest of you follow him in, but return to position at the gates, or whats left of them at this point in the siege.
All the defences have been exploded or are otherwise useless from the artillery blasts except the blast doors, and the dome electrification is not enough to disable the stray shells, meaning there are noticeable cracks in the dome, but nothing major enough to require disabling the electric. Requesting backup would require UNPIRATING the Space Station, since right now obviously the pirates aren't going to call the army upon themselves.
Things To Do:
1. DEFEND!
2. Fix Dome Cracks. (Defending + Escorting)
3. Rebuild defences while under fire. (DIFFICULT.)
4. HIDE?
5. Fire Nodachi into the Space Station and hope that armor is pirate-proof. (Possibility of backup if successful)
What will you do? (adwarf, you're in now)

I've pretty much been ignoring that stat, it was really only needed for the start. Always good to know who I could switch it to just in case, though.Be The Lone Gun/Swordsman: Y
